Canon launches IP camera range

Dubai, February 20, 2013

Canon Middle East, a leader in imaging solutions, has diversified into the security camera business in the region with the launch of a full range of internet protocol (IP) cameras at the recently held Intersec 2013.

Hendrik Verbrugghe, marketing director, Canon Middle East, said: “The future of IP security lies with intelligent cameras and HD quality images. We see a huge demand for security products in the region and by being so strong in the imaging business, foraying into the surveillance camera market was only a natural progression for the company.”

“Canon’s technology will help raise the bar of the network camera sector, while offering customers the highest quality security solutions.”

“Intersec is a key date in the region's security calendar. Canon's participation at the show provided a great opportunity to show the market what makes Canon’s security surveillance portfolio stand out from the competition. The latest range of security cameras represents a significant milestone for Canon and a compelling proposition for our partners and their customers,” added Verbrugghe.

Intersec 2013 also provided the company with the opportunity to meet with existing and prospective partners, distributors, system integrators and resellers to communicate its updated business strategy and vision for the new product segment, a statement from the company said.

The full HD IP cameras - VB-H610D, VB-H41, VB-H71 IP, VB-H610 VE - were showcased with a live demonstration at Intersec giving visitors a first look and feel to the products.

In addition to the four models, solutions from software partners from Genetec and Milestone were also showcased. The range supports the communication protocol ‘Onvif’ and is compatible with a range of 3rd party Onvif-compliant equipment, the statement said.

The VB-H41 IP camera features a 20x optical zoom lens with 12x digital zoom delivering a staggering total of 240x zoom. Pan, tilt and zoom remotely to enjoy Full-HD video viewing that’s the best in its class, it said. The VB-4610D IP camera comes packed with an ultra-wide, 112° angle lens with 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom enabling the user to see everything. – TradeArabia News Service
